Chapter 169: Standing on the edge of a cliff
The ball was converted and the Warriors attacked again.
This offensive round is too important for both sides, and if the Warriors can score, then the gap between the two sides can be closed in one round.
Of course, the Lakers players understand, so the defense is very focused, especially Kobe, who is even more close to Zhou Yang, has a strong confrontation, and has a little action.
At the last moment, none of these confrontations will be blown off.
Zhou Yang felt the pressure, but he had to score the ball himself, which is the responsibility of the star!
Bang!
Bang!
Zhou Yang changed the breakthrough style of dodging just now, and collided with Kobe Bryant!
Kobe Bryant seemed to enjoy it, and despite being hit by Zhou Yang, he still yelled in his mouth: "Okay! Go on! ”
In a confrontation, Kobe Bryant was hit to the left by Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang took the opportunity to turn to the right and jumped up.
Kobe Bryant was helpless and had to fight hard, but Zhou Yang's extreme leaned back and shot at the speed of light, Kobe Bryant was still a little slower.
Swish!
2 points in hand!
106:103!
The Lakers only led by three points.
The situation is delicate, and the difference of 3 points is 1 minute 04 seconds left.
The fans of Staples Arena can't believe it, how can they fight and fight again, and it is time for a stalemate?
The Zen master whistled on the sidelines, and instead of continuing to call a timeout, he encouraged the Lakers players to keep fighting.
Kobe Bryant gritted his teeth, he couldn't accept that both home courts were won, this is the home court of the Lakers!
This is an uncrowned champion!
The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant pushed Zhou Yang away, reached out to ask for the ball, and Fisher immediately passed it.
Zhou Yang was not careless, nor did he compete, he beckoned Margeti to come over, and the two of them sandwiched Kobe!
In regular time, you can fight aggressively, but at the last moment, you must steadily prevent the opponent's boss from being killed.
Kobe Bryant faced the bag and was calm, and he dodged Zhou Yang while squeezing in the direction of Margeti.
Margeti was a little unbearable, Zhou Yang hurried to chase after him, but Kobe Bryant was Kobe, and at the moment when Zhou Yang chased him, he suddenly collected the ball and pulled it out!
The timing was so good that Zhou Yang and Margeti didn't keep up with Kobe's rhythm.
Swish!
Three-point hit!
109:103, the point difference was widened again by Kobe!
This is personal ability, Kobe Bryant made a strong response to Zhou Yang!
After the goal, the audience stood up and cheered, and Kobe Bryant also blew his finger in front of his mouth, handsomely circling the court for half a circle to meet the roar of the audience!
There are 46 seconds left in the race.
In theory, both sides had one offensive opportunity each, and the six-point difference put the Warriors on the edge of the cliff.
Old Nelson called a timeout.
The purpose of his timeout was to give the players a break, and the coach was already happy with the result.
As for tactics, as long as they are handed over to Zhou Yang, whether they can be reversed or not requires a little luck!
The Lakers players are not very optimistic, because Zhou Yang's ability is terrifying, and no one knows what Zhou Yang will do at the last moment.
In the last few minutes of the All-Star Game, Zhou Yang's performance can be said to have shocked the world!
The timeout ended, and the Warriors attacked.
Just when the Lakers players thought that Zhou Yang would attack with the ball, Zhou Yang walked towards the bottom corner.
The Lakers players did not relax, Zhou Yang was as quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, and his off-ball ability was first-class, so he might rush out at some point.
Margeti served the sideline ball directly to Curry.
Now the Warriors are 6 points behind and must grab three points, so Curry has no ink, and after receiving the ball, he quickly moves sideways, borrows the cover of his teammates, gets rid of Fisher, and shoots three-pointers!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
Zhou Yang chose to believe in Curry, and Curry also repaid the trust of the whole team with this three-point shot!
What's more, this attack only took 7 seconds!
With 39 seconds left in the game and a three-point difference, the Warriors are still hopeful.
The pressure is on the Lakers' side.
Kobe Bryant raised his hand again and made a gesture, this gesture both players understood, that is singles!
After halftime, Fisher passed the ball to Bryant.
Kobe Bryant faced Zhou Yang and Margeti's bag, leaned sideways, and made a single fight.
At the moment when Zhou Yang went to pounce in advance, Kobe Bryant suddenly passed the ball to Gasol.
This pass surprised everyone!
Kobe Bryant would actually pass the ball at a critical moment?
Is this still Kobe?
Gasol faced Jackson, turned around, and hit the basket.
Andris had no choice but to abandon Bynum and step forward to make up for the defense.
Gasol's ability to adapt is on display, whoosh!
The ball flew out of Andris's armpit and passed right to Bynum, and the little shark didn't waste this opportunity to eat cake, bam!
Score with both hands! 108:103!
The Lakers led by five points with 13 seconds left in the game and almost sealed the win.
The audience gave a standing ovation and was hooked.
Zhou Yang also shook his head slightly, marveling at Kobe's maturity!
If it was Kobe Bryant when he was young, let alone facing a double bag, even if it was a three-person bag, he would have to do it himself.
But the 32-year-old Kobe Bryant, at a critical moment, chose to trust his teammates!
With a 5-point difference and 13 seconds, the Warriors had no chance.
Nelson Sr. called another timeout and made a last-ditch effort.
After the pause, Zhou Yang received the ball from his teammates and made a quick shot, but unfortunately, the basket came out.
Andris desperately grabbed the rebound and passed it to Curry again, who also missed.
With little game time left, the Lakers players protected the ball and the Warriors players didn't foul again.
In the end, the Lakers kept their second home court, and the two sides tied 1:1!
Although the Lakers won, they also won in a thrilling way.
The players and the fans were not too excited.
Maybe he was frightened by Zhou Yang's chasing wave just now.
Old Nelson was very satisfied with this result, although he was defeated!
The Warriors played with overall strength and gave the Lakers a surprise, and that was enough.
He believes that back at home, the Warriors will be able to surprise the fans.
Zhou Yang didn't show too much sadness, but high-fived and hugged his teammates one by one.
When you fail, you can see the true bearing of a player.
Zhou Yang doesn't care about this victory, the Warriors are originally a fish belly team, and through this game, being able to strengthen the chemistry of the whole team is the most important thing for Zhou Yang!
Besides, the Warriors have already got an away game and are content.
The next step is to prepare well for the home game.
If the Warriors do win two home games, there is hope for this series.
After the game, the media did not criticize the Warriors because they failed, but objectively evaluated the Warriors' progress.
Especially for Zhou Yang's chasing in the fourth quarter, he praised him.
"Zhou Yang's last wave of chasing points failed, although he was defeated, he was still glorious! 》
"At the last moment of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant passed the ball and locked the win, and the fans were surprised! 》
